Abstract |
The authors evaluate heterologous lyophilized collagen efficacy and tolerability in second intention healing of pilonidal sinus fistulae. This therapeutical approach seems to be characterized by a lower relapse incidence. The use of heterologous lyophilized collagen relevantly reduces the prolonged healing time required by such method.
